It doesn't look like a scam to me. What's wrong with the app?
The same thing goes for Proton as their entire business and marketing is based on selling privacy and fearmongering. Even this blog post is about selling services and they always write about it when Apple is getting hit by something and talked about. ;-)
Thank you.
Not to mention how beneficial it is for brands and products to create such closely-knit communities for their users. There's no need to Google things or ask on SO, as one can chat in real time and go back and forth for solutions with other users.
It's like sorting waste that will end up in the general landfill.
And $99 per year is a great price for someone who uses it daily for design work, not so much for hobbyists. They could make a plan without all that cloud & collaboration stuff for halve of that price, but 50% off is still a good offer. :-)
And it’s not about feature comparison to a laptop, even with a keyboard as MacBook Air M2 is better and cheaper than iPad. But easy content consumption, taking notes, sketching, writing, and many others. It’s just more fun than a heavy laptop. But yes, it’s not for everyone as using it full-time requires a change in personal habits. There’s also not much pro apps, but for now you can produce videos, music, cad designs, web design (figma, adobe, serif), so it’s not so limiting as it was years ago.

What kind of issues?
